In this episode of "Crafting a Meaningful Life," host Mary Crafts is joined by Georgina Enthoven to explore the integration of meaningful work and sustainable careers. The dialog kicks off with a nostalgic recollection of "The Wizard of Oz," which inspired Craft's lifelong dedication to doing good. Anchoring their discussion around the universal ambition to achieve a career filled with purpose and impact, Crafts and Enthoven delve into the nuances of being a 'do-gooder' in today's work environment. Harnessing Enthoven's vast experience, the conversation navigates through the challenges and triumphs of aligning profitability with philanthropy. Emphasizing the pressing need for change in workplace cultures and the role of leadership in championing meaningful work, this episode shines a light on how to effectively channel one's professional hours toward social good. Concepts like the 'unrewarded do-gooder' and the staggering statistic of a 90,000-hour career serve as cornerstones for discussing how to balance these hours between productivity and purposeful impact. These insights come alongside real-world examples and anecdotes that women and young professionals, in particular, will find both relatable and illuminating. About the Guest: Georgina Enthoven is an accomplished author and podcast host specializing in bridging the gap between generating income and making a positive impact in the world. Enthoven's background is diverse and global, having been born in Johannesburg, South Africa, and living in various countries including the United States and Mexico. She graduated from Berkeley in the mid-90s and later attended Harvard Business School. Her professional journey includes a mixture of tech industry experiences and significant contributions to social impact enterprises. Enthoven is the author of "Work That's Worth It," and she also hosts a podcast by the same name, focusing on redefining career goals to integrate income with social impact. Key Takeaways: A career can simultaneously provide financial security and meaningful impact; it is not an either/or situation. Understanding the leadership's values in an organization can be pivotal in aligning personal values with professional goals. Embracing non-traditional paths that combine entrepreneurial spirit and social impact can yield substantial outcomes, both personally and societally. Asking critical questions during job interviews can reveal whether a company truly embodies its purported mission. Shifting personal attitudes towards daily tasks can redefine one's work experience, transforming mundane into meaningful.

Are We Living Through the BIGGEST Crisis of Purpose & Meaning in History? 3 in 5 young Americans believe that their life lacks purpose. This isn't just a statistic, it's a silent epidemic reshaping mental health, identity and future...So, how do we fix it?

Many of us feel under constant pressure to optimise every moment, to become more efficient, more productive and somehow more worthy. But what if embracing our limits could be the key to living a calmer, more meaningful life? This week's returning guest on my Feel Better, Live More podcast, Oliver Burkeman, believes that accepting that we can't do everything might just set us free. Oliver is the author of the Sunday Times bestselling ‘Four Thousand Weeks' and ‘The Antidote', and for many years wrote a popular weekly column on psychology for the Guardian. His work has also appeared in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Psychologies and New Philosopher. His latest book, ‘Meditations for Mortals: A Four Week Guide to Doing What Counts', takes us on a liberating journey towards a more meaningful life – one that begins not with fantasies of the ideal existence, but with the reality in which we actually find ourselves. Designed as a four-week ‘retreat of the mind', it offers daily wisdom, solace and inspiration to aid a saner, freer and more enchantment-filled way of living. In our brilliant conversation, we discuss: Why the belief that life will finally feel easier once we clear our to-do list is such a persistent illusion How shifting our focus from endless achievement to small, present moments can transform the way we experience each day Why the fantasy of perfect decisions keeps us stuck in indecision, and how accepting the downsides of any choice can set us free How our fear of wasting time is often rooted in perfectionism, and why many of us feel we have to earn our worth through effort The liberating idea of daily-ish habits – a flexible, compassionate way to keep showing up without turning routines into self-criticism Why we don't need to wait for life to feel calm or under control before we start living with more intention How embracing our limits and accepting that time is finite can help us feel more fully alive and connected I was delighted to have the opportunity to speak to Oliver again as he brings such clarity and compassion to questions so many of us grapple with. Instead of offering yet another system for getting more done, this conversation is about stepping back, loosening our grip and recognising that a good life isn't measured by productivity but by presence, meaning and connection.

With the help of artificial intelligence (AI), we now know almost everything there is to know: except perhaps who we are and actually what matters to us. With notifications pinging and algorithms grabbing our attention, THAT kind of clarity perhaps feels even harder to find.  In this episode, author and entrepreneur SOREN GORDHAMER discusses with Andrew what AI has already changed about the experience of being human, and how we can prepare for an AI-dominated future. Soren and Andrew discuss: Reclaiming your time and attention from digital overwhelm  Truth and storytelling in the age of AI Your lived experience vs AI's advice.   Soren Gordhamer is founder and host of Wisdom 2.0, which explores living with greater mindfulness, wisdom, and compassion in the modern age. He spent a year walking through parts of the world on an environmental walk, three years teaching meditation to incarcerated teens in NYC, and is an investor in start ups including OpenAI and Anthropic. A partner at Wisdom Ventures, Soren is currently focused on the impact AI will have on our world, and how our society can prepare.  If You're Looking for More….

At EUVC Summit 2025, Fred Destin, founder of Stride, didn't give us a movie, or a polished pitch. He gave us something rarer—an unfiltered meditation on truth, technology, and the role of venture capital in shaping the next 50–100 years.Not Just Capital. Not Just Companies.Fred framed venture not simply as a financial craft, but as something profoundly human:“Since I was a kid, I always thought of progress as being intimately related to human flourishing. In our age, the way in which we create—outside of art—is by helping founders build companies. We are in the cockpit with them, creating the future.”But that future is clouded. Social media, born of “likes” and “shares,” bent the arc of progress into something darker: an attention war.And now, with AI at full speed, the stakes have never been higher.Truth Under SiegeDestin warned: truth is costly, outrage is cheap. Investigative journalism may take months, but outrage takes seconds. Algorithms optimized for speed have already shifted the field—and AI could supercharge it.He asked the room to imagine:A future where your AI knows who you dined with, where you've been, and what you'll buy next.A landscape where ambiguity is exploited, narratives collapse, and “heroes” are manufactured.A world where our meditation spaces, even our inner lives, are monetized and optimized.“Narratives are how we hold together—companies, funds, societies. When they collapse, what's left to unite us?”Stewardship in an Age of AnxietyFred's answer wasn't fear, but stewardship.Stewardship of self: noticing when we're trapped in attachment, aversion, or ignorance (as Buddhism teaches).Stewardship of conversation: asking what quality of dialogue we are having—with ourselves, with founders, with society.Stewardship of capital: ensuring the companies we back create a future we can stand behind.“Maybe don't tell your LPs you're doing this. But be intentional. Back companies that are shaping the future you'd be proud to live in.”The Call to VCsFred's message landed as both caution and inspiration:AI can bring abundance—solving crises of climate, soil, nutrition, and health.But it can also bring domination—by nation states, corporations, or worse.Or, if unchecked, extinction.The choice isn't abstract. It's in the hands of those who sit “inside the vortex”—founders, investors, and stewards of capital.Leadership That Speaks TruthFred Destin reminded EUVC Summit 2025 that venture capital isn't just about returns. It's about narrative, stewardship, and shaping futures in an age of anxiety.“What are we telling the world? Not what is self-serving. But what is true. What is a contribution.”Congratulations to Fred Destin, Stride, for a Summit Talk that challenged us not just to invest in companies—but to invest in the truth.

In this episode of "Crafting a Meaningful Life," host Mary Crafts welcomes Jill Schulman, a revered voice on the subject of bravery and author of "The Bravery Effect." The discussion is centered on the concept of courage as a scientific, learnable skill, essential for reaching a well-lived life. Jill shares insights from her research and book, which redefine bravery beyond the conventional stereotypes of fearlessness and into meaningful action in the face of fear. Mary and Jill dive deep into understanding bravery as critical to overcoming life's challenges and growing into one's authentic self. This episode explores how bravery is not just about major heroic acts but involves everyday courage to pursue meaningful goals.

About the Guest: Jill Schulman is an expert in bravery and the science of overcoming fear.

Today we're wrapping up our special series on the intersection of positive psychology and travel, and we're doing it with one of the most inspiring voices in the field. James Pawelski is the Director of Education at the Positive Psychology Center at the University of Pennsylvania. He's also a philosopher, Fulbright Scholar, and the founding director of the Humanities and Human Flourishing Project, which explores how art, music, literature, and sacred experiences can help us live more vibrant and meaningful lives. James and I first connected through my studies at Penn, where he opened my eyes to the power of the humanities—not as subjects to study in school, but as practices that help us become more whole. In this episode, we talk about why humans have always turned to art and story, how awe and sacred moments can transform us, and why travel is such a powerful gateway to beauty, meaning, and wonder. If you've ever stood before a masterpiece, heard a piece of music that gave you chills, or felt something shift inside you while traveling, this conversation is for you. Sit back, relax, and let's explore how the humanities—and your next adventure—might just add more happiness to your life. Thank you to our sponsor for this episode, Luggage Forward.
